Steps Unlock User Reviews

Sounds good, but not great

App does not sync my steps. It says I reached the goal of steps from my Apple Watch, but resets back to zero once in the app. Also, it randomly unlocks my apps for long period of time. Would not pay for a glitchy app. Better off using regular screen time on iPhone.

Great idea but doesnt work

Steps re set randomly so I was never able to reach the goal.

subscription problem

i HATE the subscription issue . the app is absolutely heading in the right direction and can definitely help out with physical health and fitness !! but why after one use of the app do i have to pay for a subscription ? not only is that INCREDIBLY stupid - but i think that we shouldnt have to use a subscription for it period .

Great idea, doesn’t work

First few days worked really well and lowered my screen time significantly. But it stopped syncing my step count and left me locked out of my apps. If they fix the bugs it might be worth it.

Too buggy

This app has so much potential but it never syncs properly. Even after I updated it, I keep getting a message that it failed to load steps. So, my phone says I have enough steps to unlock but the app says I have zero steps. Will not renew subscription.

App doesn’t work

Love the premise but it’s simply not effective. It doesn’t count my steps, buttons are confusing to use and the price is too high for something this wonky. Disappointing but I’ll be cancelling my subscription.

Incorrect counting

This app does not properly track your steps. It who forth out and be behind 1-2k steps. I don’t recommend. Great idea but the app needs working on

Boo

Makes you pay five bucks a week and is glitchy it would turn on and off 24/7

Great in theory

App looks great, easy to start. First few minutes I was laughing so hard when I couldn’t get into Facebook. It unlocked after a few hours of normal mom morning. Then app said “to continue, subscribe”. Absolutely $4.99 a week is a ridiculous charge for a simple app. So I deleted it. I’d pay about $2.99 a month for this service and that’s about it.

Bugging out always

I paid the £4.99 as it worked at first in the three days and thought happy days this’ll be good. Nope, I don’t know if it’s internet connection or disconnect between the apps or what it is, but despite constant refreshing, it doesn’t update the steps right ever and is so random as to when you do and don’t get access to your blocked apps. Such a shame as it is such a promising app but lots needs done behind the scenes to fix before getting charged a ridiculous £5 a week for something that doesn’t work right at all

Wish it worked. Good concept.

This app would have been great. The couple times it did seem to accurately tracks steps brought good routine and balance into my life. However it only works 10% of the time. So not worth a paid subscription or even free usage. If this app gets the work it needs to function I would happily re download and pay the 4.99 a month.

Nice concept, faulty execution

I noticed that it doesn’t sync to the steps taken and also seems a bit glitchy with blocking apps. It’s an excellent concept but falters in the execution

Good concept

Love the idea but it doesn’t actually sync to my steps. Also pretty expensive for just one app.

Doesn’t work

Great premise but the app doesn’t register how many steps I’ve done. Plus £5 a week/£20 per month is crazy!

Great in theory

I love the idea of this app, but unfortunately it does not work well. The app does not track my steps and although I walked over the amount of steps I needed, with my phone in hand, it still said I walked 0 steps. I will say that I did use social media way less, because I was locked out of the apps, but I canceled the free trial because I am simply not willing to pay for an app that is so glitchy and I have to uninstall and reinstall every time I want it to track my steps correctly.

Glitchy

I’m using the paid version and it’s incredibly glitchy.
My pedometer will have me at 5 k steps and my app will have me at 0. It will also randomly set my goal to 10k and not allow me to unlock the apps.
The 10 minute unlock will also start without me authorizing it and then repock the apps without me getting my screen time.

Does not update in real time

The free version allows you to lock apps but doesn’t provide any info on how to work app unless you buy. Has to delete app to access my apps even though I reached the steps

Great concept!

When it works it helps a ton! The problem is, most of the time it doesn’t work. It doesn’t sync to my step count and in order for it to work properly I have to deleted it and start all over. It doesn’t automatically lock out the apps once your time is up either, and you have to go into the app to get it to restart. However, it then goes back to not syncing. I love the idea but it needs some bug fixes.

Glitches

I would keep this app if they could fix the glitches. When I have my 10 minutes of break time till you social media, it does not block the apps after 10 minutes. Also, a lot of the times it does not accurately count my steps. I am viewing my iPhone, which shows my step that it is connected to and it is thousands of steps behind that.
